I can actually tell when I'm in a high B S bracket without testing, cos my face has a funny sort of tingling sensation to it. Hard to explain but I know. I can't tell exactly how high it is, I just know it's high.:(

I used to get tingling lips. Hasn't happened for a while, but I bet it will later....:wacky:

Have you come down yet @adrian;)? I'm at 7.6....+5 hours..

i used to go to the Sunday Market that was held at the Cattle Market just off the Dual carriageway. I used to go every Sunday early morning, not to sell, to buy. When I had my pram shops i used to do Gisburn Market, made a mountain of money on there.:D

I have no sense of my levels whatsoever. I could be high or low or normal and feel exactly the same.

Come down from what?

I missed his post. I have been back and seen it, along with Poshtotty's. (My alerts are not working properly so I keep missing posts on busy threads).
I was in the 12's after eating baked beans with a fry up and no other carbs. Normally in the 5's and 6's after a meal.

My nurse told me to eat jacket potatoes with baked beans for my lunches, plenty of bread and mushy peas.

Oh yes, I forgot the baked beans. I was told today it was safe for me to eat them. Not for anyone standing down wind of me it isn't - I'm also on 4 metformin a day! :)

Phewwwww, but seriously, really ? Baked beans would rise most BS, not all, and with different rise levels, but probably the
majority :wideyed:

That's just reminded me. My dietician also said that if I started eating carbs again like she suggested and I found I was putting weight on that she would ask the GP to put me on higher medication to compensate. I said, that will never happen. I'd rather stick to what I was eating without carbs but I would give her suggestions a go. I'm on 1 metformin 500 2 x a day.
